original features, this portico
was designed by Rubens and
links the older house with the
Baroque section. It is adorned
with a frieze showing scenes
from Greek mythology.

series of painted sketches
by Rubens. At the far end
is a semicircular dome,
modelled on Rome’s
Pantheon, displaying a
number of marble busts.

the Flemish section of the
house with its small rooms
and narrow passages. The
furniture in the room,
including the bed, is all
from Rubens’s time.
